after 10 years of existence in berlins ambitious music scene, golden gate club has achieved cult status in his own right through out the world. it is a very special place with its own living soul. yet a small venue it shows a high profile, distinct character and a very original and authentic spirit. to manifest this state, the golden gate club establishes ist own record label >ggcr<. the opening release carries the characteristic name >golden era< by swedish dj and producer anders hellberg. still a new member of the underground, his style strikingly represents what golden gate stands for. namely an impassioned, intense and organic sound with high recognition value. four tracks with the same ingredients but different prescriptions. an analog production through and through, with 303 based rhythms and blazing 80s pads. very intense and haunting but still guarding a sweet and hypnotic atmosphere.

following their recent track on reduxs pick & mix vol. 1, the disco legend that is pete herbert and melbournes golden fleece further cement their collaboration with this full ep on space walker records. >ivory waves< is a 90s influenced cut of uplifting piano-driven balearic house, complete with lush cosmic flourishes, whilst >the bells of hackney< is a more low-slung, but no less powerful production. initially combining a snaking live bassline and spaced-out arpeggios, the track builds to a crescendo as heavily flanged piano and tights guitar licks come into play. the b-side meanwhile serves up two remixes of >ivory waves<, lithuanias downtown party network recompose it as an even more-good time anthem (if such a thing is possible) with their trademark melodic charm, while slovenias sare havlicek takes the track into deeper territory bringing the thick bassline teasing the melody with dubbed out stabs, slowly bringing the huge piano line in before dropping it with force, taking the anthem potential of the original and running with it.

west coasts king & hound (james glass & dj garth) strike again with two more killer edits: my time your time a guitar driven german rock jam from 1980 that easily gets re-edited into a cosmic disco cut and tubular bells which a cover of mike oldfields classic used in halloween.

the guy on the couch is the new project of andy rk and the infamous duo of the analogue cops. >golden lady< is a techno flavored house e.p. that will blast every dancefloor. it has been written, mixed and produced at the restoration headquarters with the use of any computer. the tracks has been premastered by the analogue cops in their raw and compromiseless way.
the short a side is so mighty that it has the power to stop time. the beats are tight and the influence of the artists of the second detroit wave is vivid.>the last word< is an evocative deep house track enriched by numerous samples of old crispy records. smooth and addicting, its a late night tune.>drei hunde< has a funky hypnotic groove that set off a wild pitch hook. just six minutes of danger.

golden earring have been together since 1961 and the current line-up includes two founding members george kooymans (vocals and guitar) and rinus gerritsen (bass, keyboard) along with barry hay (vocals, guitar, flute and saxophone) a member since 1968 and cesar zuiderwijk (drums) a member since 1970.

the album >contraband< was originally released in 1976. its the first album that features the former cuby and the blizzards blues guitarist eelco gelling which makes it a very guitar orientated album.

dj t.s pleasure principle album immerses itself, wholly and rapturously, into electronic musics legacy of authentic soul, helping to usher in a renaissance of groove-heavy house. following the success of the albums singles burning and sense, dj t. turns to the sultry vocal track >city life< to launch into summer anthem mode. dj t.s unconcealed dancefloor curiosity brings his body music instincts to the fore, with the classic sounding house number >city life<, shadowy quirks disarm and charm, while cari goldens uniquely programmed vocals add broad brushstrokes of texture and atmosphere. >city life< recalls the 1980s warehouse era, and finds cari crooning, siren-like >the citys in my veins…<, mixing a rough-round-the edges vocal treatment with hands-in-the-air chord stabs. the >dj t.s rework< spreads the arrangement wider, and dj t. draws even more groove from the original with his dub version. a deep bass swing drives the track, and increases its intensifying atmosphere

the bearfunk bandwagon just keeps rolling! not content with providing some of the best moments in leftfield dance we again head back to italy so clap rules can show us their >golden hands<.
clap rules is the new pseudonym of fabrizio mammarella, andrea gabriele and max leggieri: who in their own words >make experiments with dance music<. after well received ep’s for labels like tiny sticks & dissident and remixes for dfa artist michoacan, new yorks in flagranti and french electronic music pioneer etienne de crecy. they have caught the attention of djs and music lovers from many different scenes. with a deep love for vintage equipment and recording techniques they mix this up with a fresh modern approach to concoct electronic music with no boundaries, which in itself is what bearfunk is all about, so this marriage was made in heaven.

the long overdue last vinyl part of the unit moebius golden years album! including the classic aquatic techno track dolfinarium (which goes for top prices on ebay and discogs), and the emotive ecology and duplovision tracks and the acidic monoman track. groundbreaking in 1992 and still fresh almost 20 years later! this is among the best techno ever released in the lowlands and a true classic that inspired many!

with age comes maturity, or that is at least what one would normaly think. together the three men (jin choi, walker barnard & tolga fidan) associated with private golds second release, the >i m just the rain< ep, clock in at over 100 years… and yet this release is all thrusting crotches and wriggling teen lust man-booties. only kidding, the songs on this release are nothing if not mature. sure the aforementioned sex is there. in the cooing vocals, stompy bass and 60s psych of the contrapuntal guitar of the eponymous >i m just the rain< or in the jimmy edgar-like funk and grind of >revolution for the lovers<.

we introduce 3 talented international newcomers as the start of a new series on wolfskuil ltd. the amount of fantastic demos we get in at the office is overwhelming sometimes. so it made sense to us to make a best of series out of all these wonderfull tracks. three can sometimes be to much for an intimate conversation, but definitely not in this case.

first pressing on marbled coloured vinyl! 10 inch in a hard plastic bag - better be quick on this special decks tipp!

new leng act mountaineer bring us their debut 12 inch for the label as a precursor to their album. the remix treatment here is coming from two great teams! on side-a we have the idjut boys giving us yet another genre defying direction with a sumptuously dubby take on golden chalk. this one keeps on building from a delicate strummed intro, with delayed vocals, the track slowly draws you into a deep sea of sub bass and guttural wobbles. the idjuts deft hands once again delivering a lesson in subtlety and arguably one their finest works to date. on side-b tuff city kids rework the always coming home in a wholly different way, fat 80s dub bass, hefty hand-claps and linn drum fills underpin some soaring atmospheric synth work. with the vocals dropped, this is the side for the deep-end of the club, as tcks gerd jansen well knows. a must have 12 inch!

eagerly awaited vol 6 on richard sens mixed blood cuts series sees the baton handed over to melbourne based >pom< golden fleece. the first cut on this 2 tracker >dancin in the nude< sees t-rexs marc bolan fronting a futuristic glam band jam. plenty of (cow) bells, whistles, wonky synths, even the occasional kitchen sink thrown in for good measure! this jam has been tearing up dancefloors on both sides of the planet. on the flip >ciao bella< takes us on an epic dark journey with a full 11 minute long work out of bauhauss >bela lugosis dead< getting a modern fix up with a night stopover in detroit for good measure. golden fleece drops the bpm of the original and respectfully sprinkles over some of his own dub glitter purely for the benefit of the dancefloor! andrew weatherall has been championing this cut
